Gifted camera overallSensible camera overall. Works really great in well lit rooms and open-air. Superior quality. When the room is dim or doesn't have enough light the picture distinction is poor. Over I would recommend this camera it is easy to use and I have it for almost 2 years without any issue. The software that comes with this camera is a on the knuckles of junk and the support is not great for the software either.
Devoted for the money
This is a adroit HD video camera for the money. If you have an HD televison and wish to directly fiddle with back the footage on your TV, shooting in HD is the way to go. The shots look great, with the only exception of low vacant/night time filming. This gets very grainy, with poorer prominence - my only negative. Also, I have fairly large hands, and although the camera is a bit small, it is managable. I would also strongly recommend that you purchase a mini HDMI cable to connect to your TV, this will give much outdo results.
Ancillary Microphone!
This camcorder offers what few HDD camcorders offer--a classify to plug in an auxiliary microphone! This makes the Canon VIXIA HG20 AVCHD a perfect, versatile preference that provides the ability to record high quality sound to betrothal the high definition picture.
Canon Vixia HG20
I have acclimatized this camcorder for about 8 months now. As far as picture quality, in MXP or Cine mode, the prominence is excellent.
The audio recording is only average, and may benefit from attaching the discretionary mic. Audio levels can be adjusted on the fly for live music situations, which is a pleasingly feature. The zoom is adequate and may be set to fixed or variable modes. It is entirely small and portable. It has no optical view, so the LCD must be monitored while in use, but it tilts 360 degrees.
My predominant disappointment is the software supplied with the camcorder. The software is very limited for anything other than playback, and I had to foothold third party software to burn discs, and they still will only play on a computer. Canon is no help, either.
Camcorder is giant
The camcorder is truly great, the software is AWFUL. Don't buy this camcorder unless you're of a mind to buy additional software
